Trident Inn & Suites, Baton Rouge

I stayed at Trident Inn & Suites in Baton Rouge, LA for two nights and had a mixed experience. Here are some of the pros and cons of this hotel: **Pros:** - The hotel was clean and well-maintained, especially the front lobby and the guest cafe area. - The hotel accepted my Texas Temporary Valid Driver License as a valid ID, unlike the OYO hotel that treated me very rudely and unprofessionally. - The hotel had a convenient location near the interstate and a secure gated parking lot, which made it easy to use Lyft and Uber services. - The front desk agent was courteous and efficient, and the check-in process was smooth. - The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom. - The Wi-Fi connection was fast and reliable, which was essential for my work. **Cons:** - The hotel did not provide a complimentary breakfast, nor did they inform me if there was one available. The coffee in the lobby was cold and tasteless. - The hotel was noisy in the morning, as I could hear children running and shouting in the hallways. I later found out that they were the housekeepers' children, which was very unprofessional. - The hotel had a very strict check-out policy, and they only gave me 30 minutes extra when I asked for a late check-out. They also knocked on my door very loudly and rudely at 11 am, even though I had already told them that I would check out at 11:30 am. - The hotel had a poor quality control, as I had to change rooms twice due to some issues. The first time, the tabletop in the kitchenette fell apart from the countertop, which was very dangerous and startling. The second time, the remote control for the Roku TV did not work, and I had to watch TV in Spanish with captions. **Overall rating: 2.5/5** Trident Inn & Suites is a decent hotel for a short stay, but it has some serious flaws that need to be addressed. The hotel has a good location, cleanliness, and amenities, but it lacks in customer service, breakfast, and noise control. I would not recommend this hotel for a corporate executive traveler, as it does not meet the standards of professionalism and comfort that one would expect.
